Keith, I also have a small business in Washington State that mails product to the buyers (very small amount of personal sales handed "over the counter"). I built a SQLite3 database to track the individual orders along with the State and Local jurisdiction collected taxes. It is just too complicated to keep track in GnC. For 2020Q1 there are 476 distinct local jurisdictions and 1,185,337 address locators in the states downloadable files. In two cases, the same block-face (same zip + zip-4) has different location codes based on the house number. However, the hosting site (Squarespace) will only apply taxes at the zip code level of which there are 716 different zip codes in the state. Thankfully I don't have "presence" in any other state (yet). Also, thankfully, I can download the orders direct from the web site in CSV format. I only have to manually add the very few OTC sales. --Steve -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 ------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
